The most romantic little emperor

Chapter 173 Damn it, saving my life is the most important thing. I admit defeat in this game

Lin Guodong felt greatly insulted after being repeatedly scolded by Li Zhen.

He clenched his fists, feeling unwilling to give in. He really wanted to knock Li Zhen to the ground with one punch, but he didn't dare to do so, because the man in front of him was the god of war, and all the generals in the court regarded him as their lifelong goal. If he dared to punch him, things would get worse.

Li Zhen suddenly thought of something and asked, "You were the one who said my son was guilty?"

Lin Guodong quickly waved his hand and subconsciously pointed at Wen Tai, the Minister of War, and evaded the question by saying, "It wasn't me, it wasn't me who said it, it was him who said it."

When Wen Tai heard that Li Guodong had betrayed him, his old face turned red, and he was so angry that he almost bled to death. He was so angry that he said, "Lin Guodong, what the hell are you talking about?"

Li Zhen couldn't help laughing when he saw this. They were really like pigs. Just a random word from him provoked an internal conflict among them.

At this time, Su Zhengfang's face was blue and purple, and he was already exhausted by Li Zhen. He begged for mercy, "General Li, please talk nicely. You are almost killing me."

Hearing this, Li Zhen laughed and then pushed him away.

Su Zhengfang got a chance to catch his breath. He held his old waist with both hands and breathed in the air greedily, feeling like he had survived a disaster.

It took a long time for Su Zheng to regain his composure. He thought to himself, that was too dangerous just now. This old guy started fighting over a disagreement. If he really kills me, who can I turn to for justice?

Damn it, saving my life is more important, I admit defeat in this round.

So, he begged for mercy, "Old General, I was reckless this time. I should never have slandered General Li Mu. So, my Su family voluntarily gives up the general of the Azure Dragon Guard. What do you think?"

Li Zhen was secretly happy in his heart, but he pretended to decline, "How can this be? People who don't understand the situation will think that I am bullying them by taking advantage of my power."

Su Zhengfang forced a smile and said sincerely, "General, you are joking. A tiger father will have a dog son. General Li Mu is both civil and military, brave and resourceful. No matter from which aspect, he is much better than my son Su Meng."

"So, his appointment as the general of the Azure Dragon Guard is what everyone wants."

"Minister Wen, don't you think so?"

While praising the father and son of the Li family, Su Zhengfang also did not forget to rescue the Minister of War Wen Tai.

Wen Tai didn't want to be hated by the old rogue Li Zhen, so he quickly greeted him with a smile: "Old General, my nephew is in charge of the Ministry of War. General Li Mu's ability is second to none and no one can compare to him. His appointment as the General of the Azure Dragon Guard is what everyone wants, and my nephew is the first to agree."

Seeing this, Xie An, Zhu Gui, Wang Jian and others also followed suit and praised Li Mu, supporting him to become the general of the Qinglong Guard.

Dong Sicheng was also happy to do things that would add icing on the cake, so he also praised Li Mu highly.

For a time, all the civil and military officials in the court were almost unanimous in praising Li Mu and supporting him to become the general of the Qinglong Guard.

Li Zhen saw that his goal had been achieved and no longer pursued the responsibility of Su Zhengfang, Wen Tai and others.

He smiled, bowed to the ministers, and sincerely thanked them: "Thank you all colleagues for your recognition and support for my son. I am very grateful."

"Today at noon, I will host a banquet for you all at the General's Mansion. I hope all my colleagues will come to the banquet!"

Xie An, Zhu Gui, Wang Jian and others all expressed their willingness to attend the banquet.

Qin Hao was delighted to see that the great event had been accomplished. He walked up to Li Zhen, held his hands tightly, and sincerely invited him, "General Li has made great contributions to Daxia. He is still as skilled as ever. I beg you to return to the court and take control of the situation."

Su Zhengfang frowned, extremely angry. If Li Zhen took charge of the government again, the prince's power would be even greater, and he would be constrained in everything he did in the future. What should he do?

He couldn't help but look at Dong Sicheng. Dong Sicheng was also extremely uneasy at the moment, and he didn't want Li Zhen to return to the court.

So, when Su Zhengfang cast his gaze over, Dong Sicheng noticed it immediately. The two looked at each other and nodded slightly, and their meaning was self-evident.

Dong Sicheng burst into laughter, immediately attracting the attention of many people.

He was beaming with joy, and he said with a smile, "Congratulations to General Li for returning to the court, and congratulations to Li Mu for being appointed as the new general of the Azure Dragon Guard. It is a great pleasure to see General Li and his son serving in the same court!"

Su Zhengfang also congratulated him and said, "Your Highness, two great generals from the same family serve in the same court. This is the first good fortune since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty. It will surely be remembered by history."

Dong Sicheng and Su Zhengfang's words were congratulations on the surface, but their implications were, on the one hand, a reminder to the prince, and on the other hand, a threat to Li Zhen.

The prince may not have realized the sinister intentions of the two men, but Li Zhen did.

Many civil and military officials in the court also heard it, and for a moment the atmosphere instead of being lively became cold.

All the ministers dared not say a word and watched quietly as the most powerful people in the hall fought each other.

Li Zhen narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, if he agreed to the prince's request, although the prince's strength would increase greatly, it would undoubtedly make the Su family and the Dong family wary. If the two families joined forces, it would be disastrous.

After figuring this out, Li Zhen pointed at the two men and directly exposed their tricks. He laughed and said, "You two, after so many years, still haven't made any progress."

"I have been away from the court for more than two years. I am used to being idle outside. Isn't it nice to go fishing, drink tea, and practice calligraphy? Why would I return to the court again?"

Only then did Qin Hao understand the meaning of Su Zhengfang and Dong Sicheng's words. Although he was angry, he still smiled and did not show any displeasure on his face.

Li Zhen turned to look at Qin Hao and declined, "Your Highness, I appreciate your kindness, but the world now belongs to the young. I am old and can't help the court anymore."

"Your Highness, please let me go home and recuperate. Maybe I can live two more days."

Su Zhengfang and Dong Sicheng were relieved when they heard that Li Zhen rejected the prince's kindness. However, they still pretended to be ignorant and tried several times to keep Li Zhen to serve the court.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhen remained unmoved and refused repeatedly.

Qin Hao had no choice but to give up.

Li Zhen had achieved his goal this time. Seeing that there was nothing for him to do, he did not wait for the court to end and said directly to Qin Hao: "Your Highness, you continue to discuss matters. I have to go back to prepare lunch, so I will go ahead."

Before leaving, he said to all the civil and military officials in the court: "Everyone will go to the banquet at noon. I want to thank all my colleagues in person for supporting my son."

After saying this, he shook his body and slowly walked out of the hall.
